Community Surveys

The City conducts regular surveys of randomly selected Corvallis community members to gather statistically valid feedback and public sentiment about services provided by local government, as well as overall community livability. Goals include providing useful information for planning, resource allocation, performance measurement, and program and policy evaluation. The results are used to help the City leaders develop the annual budget and Strategic Plan updates, improve services, increase civic involvement, strengthen public trust, and improve the quality of life in Corvallis.

2025 Community Survey

The 2025 Community Survey got underway in September! Selected households will receive a postcard invitation with a personalized web link to take the survey online. A few days after the postcard, a printed survey will be sent to the same address, so that households have the option of completing either the web survey or the print survey. 

As in previous years, an open participation survey will be available on the City website in late October. Check back to find a link to the open participation survey!
